What it does

Job evaluation software with consistent grading, automatic anomaly detection, and evidence-backed decisions. This system provides a extensive framework for creating, managing, and defending organisational pay structures and job hierarchies, using clear, standardised criteria such as role complexity, responsibility, and organisational context.

Build a defensible pay structure in 90 days. Job evaluation software with consistent grading, automatic anomaly detection, and evidence-backed decisions.

Job families, grades, and anchor roles all connect, so every decision points back to the same, rigorous framework. Five factors, plainly defined. Your team can evaluate roles confidently within days. Structural anomalies get flagged automatically, before they become grading disputes. Right now, roles get sized by precedent, gut feel, and whoever negotiated hardest at offer stage. A proper methodology means the next grading decision takes minutes, not multiple meetings. Every grade traces back to the factor scores behind it, so when someone asks 'why is this role a Level 6?', the answer is already written "Why does she earn more than me?" "What gets me to the next level?" "On what basis was…from paygrade.co.uk

  • Hey HN, We recently built Clipto. It’s a tool that lets you search over terabytes of video, audio, and images on your computer, without relying on the cloud. Motivation: we probably all had this similar experience, we know a moment exists in a video or audio, but finding it takes hours scrubbing the timeline. You can send all the media to process in the cloud, but it’s slow, expensive and raises privacy concerns. So we decided to build our own on-device media search engine. How it works (high level): 1. We ingest video, audio, image; normalize formats via ffmpeg; run content analysis to…

  • Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy.
